Question:

I need to identify this cutlery?

by | earlier

My parents have a 133 piece set of cutlery with gold inlay. It bears the word Jager and what appears to be a trademark of a kneeling rifleman. It was made in Germany (we know that much). Does anyone know how to identify the manufacturer & possible valuation as they want to sell it?

I guess that is what you are looking for.

Silberwarenfabrik Jaeger GMBH.

Check out their website and you will find the trademark of the kneeling rifleman

You will need to either post a photo or find more info about the set.  Is it flatware, is it silver, is it place settings, full sets or mixed pieces?

Jager, [which is German for hunter] probably describes the scene of the kneeling rifleman and not the manufacturer.

Antiques roadshow?  good luck!

Solingen and Henckle are the best German cutlery I know.

Jager means light infantry in German. You will have to look in a silver marking book to match your manufacturer.
